4. When they stick their tongue down your throat...
Edited on Thu Mar-10-05 04:28 PM by thom1102
that is usually a good sign :silly:
Seriously, glances that last longer than they should, when they go out of their way to touch you, when they laugh at a joke that is only mildly funny. Those are some common ones, along with eye contact.

44. Hair tossing too.
When my hair was really long I did that all the time. I saw something on TLC that it was really common for a woman to do that too.

26. Exactly.
If it's not obvious, it's probably not flirting.

9. Not a clue, and men flirt less conspicuously I think.
I don't have a good flirt radar.
But women smile a lot, seem to perk up, all kind of little things.

43. I harmlessly flirt w/ almost everyone
I've harmlessly flirted w/ a priest on ocassion-does that mean I want him? No.
The kind of meaningful flirting- I usually keep eye contact for at least 5 seconds, then look down shyly. It many times includes a slight touch-like a hand lightly laid on someone's arm, brushing closer to them, anything along those lines.
Now, do you need an ego boost? Do you need someone to flirt w/ you?

46. I don't know and neither does my husband
It is a good thing that we just started dancing at a party and somehow ended up making out. If that hadn't happened, we probably would have been clueless and just been friends.

50. Here are a few signs
She pays very close attention as you speak. She may blush a bit, avert her eyes, and tends to smile a lot. She might twirl her hair.
She may tease, but generally in a gentle rather than a sharp way. Body language is important. Does she lean toward you or away? If two people mimic each others body language, there is an attraction. Body language is instinctual. Few people actually think about it, but it's a good trait to watch to see if someone is interested.

There are some women who are far more obvious in expressing their interest, but if you encounter one of them, you won't need to ask.
